The track, along with the rest of the album, was composed for the film "For All Mankind", a documentary on the early years of NASA. The film wasn't completed until 1989.
Aside from those that feature country & western guitar, "An Ending (Ascent)" stands out from Brian Eno's other ambient tracks due to its clear use of discernible (yet slow-moving) melody.
The track has appeared in a number of media uses, including in the TV series "Jam", "Top Gear" and "Nip/Tuck"; films "Traffic", "28 Days Later" and "Drive"; and David Firth's animation "Salad Fingers".
Frou Frou sampled the track in their song "Hear Me Out" in 2002, as did Burial in 2006 for "Forgive."
